Matlab codes to (set) identify the RICEB measures as discussed in
"Labor Market Participation, Marriage and Individual Welfare" 
by Laurens Cherhcye, Bram De Rock and Khushboo Surana.

* Bounds on male and female RICEBs can be obtained by using the matlab code 'main_bdwages.m'. It uses the selected sample as input ('Data.mat'). 
* This script uses three matlab functions.
* 1)'get_consideration_sets.m' which defines the set of potential partners.
* 1)'get_indices.m' which computes the minimum stability indices needed to rationalize the data. 
* 2)'get_ricebs.m' uses the outputs of 'get_indices.m' and gives the bounds on RICEBS. 
* The results are stored in files 'DataPSID_results_ricebs_4cat_size100_iter100_wbounds0_Cluster1.mat' and 'DataPSID_results_ricebs_4cat_size100_iter100_wbounds25_Cluster1.mat'.
